Details Condition: Brand New Format: Paperback ISBN: 9789370034334 Publisher: Rupa Publications Overview Motivation is rarely the steady, glowing flame we imagine — it flickers, dims, and sometimes goes out entirely when life gets hard. Fuel Your Fire by Kenneth Blake rejects the idea that willpower is a fixed trait, arguing that drive can instead be trained, rebuilt, and sustained through deliberate, sometimes unconventional habits. This paperback is aimed at readers who have tried the usual pep talks and quick-fix hacks, only to find their enthusiasm fading within days, offering a more honest, sustainable approach to staying inspired for the long haul. About the Book Fuel Your Fire is built around a simple but powerful premise: motivation isn't magic, it's a muscle, and like any muscle it needs the right kind of training to grow stronger over time. Kenneth Blake moves away from generic productivity advice and instead explores unconventional methods for reigniting drive when energy dips — techniques designed for real life, not just the honeymoon phase of a new goal. The book acknowledges that big ambitions and daily inspiration often clash with fatigue, distraction, and burnout, and sets out practical ways to bridge that gap without relying on unsustainable bursts of hype. Rather than one single trick, the book encourages readers to build a personal toolkit of strategies that keep their fire burning steadily, even on low-motivation days. It's written in an accessible, conversational style suited to newcomers and seasoned self-help readers alike who still struggle to make momentum stick. Whether the goal is career-related, creative, health-focused or personal, the ideas here are designed to be adapted to whatever the reader is chasing, with an emphasis on consistency over intensity. For anyone tired of feeling inspired for a week and then losing steam, this book offers a refreshingly grounded alternative. Practical, unconventional strategies for building lasting motivation Focuses on sustainable habits rather than short-lived bursts of energy Accessible, conversational writing style suited to all readers Ideal for anyone chasing personal, career, or creative goals Brand new paperback edition, perfect for gifting or self-improvement shelves About the Author Kenneth Blake writes on personal development and motivation, favouring practical, no-nonsense strategies over abstract theory. His work targets readers who want realistic tools for staying driven through everyday setbacks, rather than short-lived inspiration.

Blake's writing favours clarity and relatable examples over jargon, making his guidance approachable for readers at any stage of their personal growth journey, whether just starting out or refining long-standing habits.
